Description

@glennsarti has some great blog content on how to write powershell execs that goes into exit codes, terminating conditions, etc. It would be great to get some of that directly into the module README, maybe linking back to the blogs for the details.

(this had been syndicated on the puppet blog, but the perforce team is housekeeping old content and trying to move things to where they might have better impact.)

Update the module README with a PowerShell usage primer based on the two linked blog posts, covering the exit-code and terminating-condition guidance they describe. Read both posts first, then ensure the README includes useful guidance and links back to the detailed articles.
